With Open Arms and Open Eyes.

Dress: Asos
Vest: Forever 21
Belt: Asos
Shoes: Below7

I'm back from Leeds now. It was a hectic and packed trip but it was a really fun time. I got to spend time with some great friends in my favourite place. I only managed to get photos of two outfits which I'm regretting but I was too busy having fun. Rubbish excuse, yeah? I wore this on the daytime of the Tuesday when I met up with my friends in town, got a hair cut and then went to a gig in the evening following by a great night. I wore a different outfit for the evening but this was great was the daytime. Apart from skater dresses are kind of susceptable to gusts of wind. Sorry Leeds for my indecent exposure.



I took a different route back to my house and got a little lost but found this great wall of grafitti. I've seen quite a lot of great street grafitti up there and I think it works really nicely as a backdrop for photos. We managed to figure out where we were and find our way home. I love strange little adventures like that though. 



For the rest of my time in Leeds, I enjoyed a burrito, watched Hot Tub Time Machine, walked around sleep deprived for day, got settled in the new house and encountered plenty of strange neighbours. Apparently it's normal to scream at a dog in the middle of the night and park under someone's open window while blasting gangster rap. Who knew?



My friend was supposed to come back home with me from Leeds but there was a disaster with her tickets five minutes before the train left so I ended up coming home alone. I'm sad she didn't get to come as we had great stuff planned but the upside is I didn't have to get up at 9AM after only getting in at 3 last night. It was my friend's birthday and I think we gave her a pretty good celebration including lots of old faces, surreal stories and a nice sobering walk home.

As you can see, I still haven't quite learnt the art of posing.

hehe i don't think there is an art to posing, just taking lots of photos and then picking the best ones! i always wear skirts that blow up in the wind...it's embarrassing.
